Global Energy Network Institute was founded in 1986
by Peter Meisen to investigate the idea of Dr. R.
Buckminster Fuller, proposing a global electric energy
grid as the number one priority to solve many of the
world's most pressing problems. In 1991, GENI was
incorporated in San Diego, California, USA as a 501(c)(3)
non-profit corporation.

GENI's mission is
to conduct research and to educate world leaders and
the public about the critical viability of the interconnection
of electric power networks between nations and continents,
with an emphasis on tapping abundant renewable energy
resources, what we call 'the GENI Initiative.' Our
research shows that linking renewables between all
nations will mollify conflicts, grow economies and
increase the quality of life and health for all. This
is a strategy rooted in the highest priority of the
World Game simulation developed by Dr. Buckminster
Fuller three decade ago.

The Global Energy Network Institute is blessed
with a high-quality team of international officers
and directors, personnel, volunteers, and student
interns.

Through their efforts over the years, this team
has made contact with every nation's President,
Prime Minister, Energy Minister, United Nations
Ambassador, as well as key national media and the
energy industry on all continents.
